Indeed, and the Revanced apk customisation on Android, and SmartTube on Google TV.
I've not seen an ad from Youtube for probably 10+ years on my devices (since whenever Vanced made the apk customisations popular).

No. I don't. uBO suffices. Maybe with some additional rules and lists which aren't in its default setup.
Maybe it also depends on the sort of content one watches, but I tried, and it did nothing for me, except one extension more running. Which I tend to try to minimize.
I think I remember some sponsored crap in 'der8auer' or something like 'linus tech tips' eons ago, but I don't watch them anymore.
So I can't really tell, but for my use case it seems redundant.
I also remember having imported uBo-lists from somewhere, allegedly enabling sponsor-blocking somehow. But that was another install. I don't have these anymore, ATM.
